[libreoffice-design] Minutes from the UX/design meeting 2023-Jun-15

Present: Happy, Hossein, Heiko
Comments: Mike, Dieter, Eyal


Tickets/Topics

 * E-Mail by using mail-merge needs handling of: "messages per connection"
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155299
   + reasonable request (Mike)
   + add to Tools > Options > Writer > Mail Merge a frame "Options" with
     "Break every [ 100] messages for [  5] s" (the values could need a review)
   => do this

 * Allow edit of F1 keystroke
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=155671
   + makes sense to allow customization of all keys (Happy)
   + F1 has a dedicated command so it's just the limitation to customize
   => allow it

 * Include extension chart digitizer in LO 7 chart with Calc table
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=139933
   + LibreOffice is not an OCR tool, well suited for an extension (Heiko)
   => do not add to the core functionality

 * More centralized endnote/footnote settings
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125876
   + rename Tools > "F & E" to "Footnotes/Endnotes settings" (Dieter)
     + +1 (Happy, Heiko)
   + add F&E Settings to context menu of footnote anchor
     + should be the fact right now
   + rename "Insert > Footnote or Endnote" to "Edit Footnote/Endnote" (Dieter)
     + rather hide this command as adding a random character is odd (Heiko)
     + it's the only way to insert characters not available as numbering
       lists like Arabic alef (Hossein)
     + keep and rename to "Insert Special Footnote/Endnote" (Happy)
   + make footnote numbering page-style-specific, rename the Insert > F&E
     dialog "Out-of-order Note" or "Special Note", provide access to Page Style
     from F&E (Eyal)
   + off topic here, depends on bug 155712; if footnotes were bound to
     page style it would be confusing for left/right varying styles
   => follow Dieter's suggestion except Special F/E

 * HYPERLINK DIALOG: Simplification of Hyperlink Process
   + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=130646
   + search for bookmarks or optionally sort alphabetically in the Navigator
   + Navigator shows the URL on hover
   + use case is "referencing of terminology" which would be Insert >
     Cross-reference (Eyal)
     + or rather Alphabetical Index created per Concordance File (Heiko)
   => sufficient methods, NEEDINFO
